Rangers and Pioneers of Texas;

The true-life tales of life as a Texas Ranger among the pioneers of Texas. From the military excursions to fight the War of Independence with Mexico (Goliad, the Alamo, and other battles) to the expeditions and battles against the Indians to prevent the massacre of homesteaders; its all related by a Ranger who lived through much of it and knew many others who were present for these historic times. In particular, the information about how the Bowie knife got its name, the Battle of the Alamo, and the Ranger scout into the Wichita Mountains are very interesting and a great read.
